A Venezuelan citizen living in Minnesota describes the "Colectivos de la Paz," armed militias used by the Venezuelan government to repress dissent. These groups were reportedly trained by the Colombian FARC and include gangs like the "Tren de Aragua." The caller expresses concern that Marco Rubio is willing to work with Delcy Rodriguez, arguing that the entire communist infrastructure must be eliminated.

Bracken references the film "Proof of Life" to illustrate how guerrillas can sabotage oil infrastructure and kidnap engineers to prevent economic success. He uses the Russian proverb "No fortress can withstand a donkey laden with gold" to suggest that many Venezuelan officials have already been bribed. The challenge for the U.S. will be managing a "head parade" of leaders who fear being the next target of extraction.

Patrick Byrne reads portions of Hugo Carvajal's letter, which details how the Venezuelan government coordinated with FARC, ELN, and Hezbollah to flood U.S. cities with narcotics. The letter states that the "Cartel of the Suns" was a deliberate policy to destroy the United States through weaponized drug trafficking.
